A young man sustained serious injuries after being struck by the 001 train on the Tema–Mpakadan rail line. Reports indicate he failed to move away from the track as the train approached.
Accra-based Citi News reported that the train horn was sounded repeatedly, but the man did not respond. Eyewitnesses at the scene noted that he appeared mentally alert at the time of the accident.
The Ghana Railway Development Authority (GRDA) emphasized the need for caution near railway lines, urging pedestrians to stay alert and avoid walking along the tracks.
Authorities confirmed that emergency services responded promptly to provide medical attention to the injured individual.
In a related statement, the GRDA suggested that recent attacks on the train service may be linked to efforts to remove encroachers from the railway corridor, possibly as retaliatory actions.
